There is no question of having the "bug accepted". As Etienne stated
this is not a bug, but the correct interpretation of escaped characters
in double quoted strings.. If you want compatible behavior with Matlab
then always use single quoted strings. As for telling if a string is
single or double quoted, the following works
octave:1> a = 'single';
octave:2> b = "double";
octave:3> typeinfo (a)
ans = sq_string
octave:4> typeinfo (b)
ans = string
or as a test
if (strcmp (typeinfo(str), "single"))
## Have single quoted string
else
## Have double quoted string
endif
